RuneScape NXT Brings High-Res Visuals to the MMO

After fifteen years, the juggernaut that is RuneScape shows no signs of slowing down at all. If you read our interview with the developers then you'll no doubt have seen that they have been hard at work on a new update to the game, dubbed NXT. Well, that update is finally here and the game that you know and love has been given a new look. With a massively extended draw distance, new lighting and shadow effects and full DirectX 12 support, RuneScape has never looked so good. 

“The new NXT game client is another big step forward for RuneScape. The development team have done a fantastic job engineering a new client that brings significant improvements to visuals and whilst also making it run much faster." Said Phil Mansell, vice president of RuneScape at Jagex Games Studio. "It’s been a few years in the making but has been well worth it, as NXT isn’t just a one-off upgrade, it also enables even more new features for the future. Current players have already got a taste of what NXT offers in recent closed beta tests and its full release is a great reason for former players to check out what’s new in RuneScape.”
